I'm looking at sprucing up my interior, which is black. Looking at the different interior trim pieces, some are covered in a vinyl, such as the upper dash, lower dash pads, door panels, rear quarter panels, shifter console, and T top panels. The vinyl covering these molded parts appears to be solid black through and through, and NOT dyed. Is that correct?
Other interior trim pieces appear to have come from the factory as a molded grayish plastic which IS dyed. These parts include the seat backs, front kick panels, and E brake console. Is this correct? I think these are original, but they may be aftermarket... Not sure.
Then there are the metal pieces, which are dyed or painted with a flat black, including the gage bezel, and wiper/washer console.
The parts in my car that are vinyl covered actually look pretty good, and I'm not planning on restoring them. The seat backs, front kick panels, E brake console, and metal pieces need touching up. Searching the forum, I see that SEM black is recommended for the metal console pieces. The seat backs, E brake console, and kick panels don't appear to be a flat black like the metal console panels. What tint will most closely match factory on these? I'm also a little concerned that once they are redone, they won't match the other vinyl covered parts, however, my E brake console seems to be a little more glossy than the vinyl covered shifter console, so maybe this is the way it came from the factory? Thanks
